3" .327

Newest flyer from CDNN shows a 3" taurus model 85 (J frame size) in .327. I don't know why, but I think this would be a fun little popper and good for a hinting vest pocket. Price is reasonable at $250 but the thing is ported which takes some of the fun out of it. This may be a stupid question but would it be possible to plug the ports? I know it's possible but would it cause problems? I'm thinking of tapping the ports and putting set screws in the holes. Lok tite them in so they wouldn't creep in or out. Do you guys think the open ports in the bore would catch too much metal and cause accuracy issues?

Just bored thinking at work....
